    “Dead language”

    Dude it doesn’t count if you’re literally killing the language on purpose

      It’s also not a dead language by any stretch of the imagination. Even latin isn’t technically a dead language since it is still used.

      Imperialists calling something dead is often just wishful thinking.

    • “Just seen”

      “Just saw” is accepted shorthand for “I/we just saw…” “I have seen…” is acceptable if you’re saying that you’ve watched a movie 27 times.

      Even substituting in “I just have seen” in the OP doesn’t make grammatical sense to me.

      The guy should probably worry more about his own English than other people’s Welsh.

    dead language

    If people learn it, and people use it, it is by definition not a dead language.

    This is some colonialist BS.

    Typical unionist. Adores the kingdom but hates all the different cultures inside of it.

    Proposal:

    Force the English to learn Welsh and rename the English language to American

    It’s always the chucklefuck who only speaks one language that wants to abolish “dead” languages.
